Astor Yacht Cruise Yields Rare Finds

'Nourmahal'' With Scientist* Aboard

Now Homeward Hotutd With Cargo

of Rare Specimen* From l-.liui.ls

Many rare finds are reported to have been made by the party o* scientists and sportsmen on the cruise of Vincent Astor's yacht Nourmahal, with Mr. Astor aboard, to Indefatigable Island, one of the least known of the GalajKigos group The party are now homeward bound, having passed recently through the Panama Canal.

The New York Times of this past Wednesday carried the lollowing ac­count of the results of the cruise:

"With a treasure of specimens of unique reptiles, birds, fish, animals and flora, Vincent Astor's yacht Nourmahal transited the Panama canal today on its way task to New York from a scientific cruise In the Galapagos islands.

"The cruise was reported entirely successful except for failure to ob­tain a spineless cactus, which Dr. Charles H. Townsend, director of the New 'York Aquarium and scientific director of the expedition, discovered on Indefatigable island two jvars ago. The party, however, got several specimens growing in the Canal Zone from plants left by the previous ex­pedition.

"One of the objects of the Astor party was to save from extinction a species of giant land tortoise, the testudo portieri. peculiar to Indefa­tigable Island, and eight of the larg­est, each weighing seventy-ftve pounds, are aboard the Nourmahal.

"We found shells in the tortoise country half way up the slope of the island, indicating that there had been live specimens weighing !>00 pounds, said Dr. Townsend, who remarked •on the success of the colonies of- Gala­pagos tortoises in the United States and the fact that records already show that they more than double their weight annually.

"The party concentrated its efforts on Indefatigable Island, which has three inhabitants, two Norwegians, the remants of an attempt to estab­lish a fishing colony, and one Ecua-tdorean. A group consisting of Ker-init Roosevelt, C. Suydam Cutting and others, guided by the Ecuador-ean, probably penetrated inland fur­ther and higher than any previous explorers, literally carving its way to a height of 2.100 feet above sea level and verifying that a crater shown on charts of Indefatigable Island
